C210

D185

Answer:

A. 195

Read Explanation:

1. Calculate the total cost price:

  • Cost price per hundred chickooes = ₹1410

  • Number of hundreds of chickooes = 400 / 100 = 4

  • Total cost price = 4 * ₹1410 = ₹5640

2. Calculate the total selling price:

  • Total profit = ₹860

  • Total selling price = Total cost price + Total profit

  • Total selling price = ₹5640 + ₹860 = ₹6500

3. Calculate the selling price per chickoo:

  • Total number of chickooes = 400

  • Selling price per chickoo = Total selling price / Total number of chickooes

  • Selling price per chickoo = ₹6500 / 400 = ₹16.25

4. Calculate the selling price per dozen:

  • Number of chickooes in a dozen = 12

  • Selling price per dozen = Selling price per chickoo * Number of chickooes in a dozen

  • Selling price per dozen = ₹16.25 * 12 = ₹195

Therefore, the selling price per dozen of chickooes is ₹195.
